Commentary
Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. Intéressante représentation du revers des statues d’Hygiée et d’Asklépios qui se retrouvent sur le monnayage ce qui semble bien démontrer que les revers ne montrent pas des entités choisies au hasard, mais au contraire des figurations de statues conservées dans les temples.
Appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted. Missing from all consulted works. Interesting representation of the reverse of the statues of Hygieia and Asklepios that appear on the coins, which seems to demonstrate that the reverses do not show randomly chosen entities, but rather representations of statues preserved in the temples.

Historical background
SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS
(13/04/193-4/02/211)
Septimius Severus was born in 146 in Leptis Magna in Africa (Libya). After a brilliant military career under the reigns of Marc Aurèle and Commodus, he was consul suffect in 185. At the time of Pertinax's death, he was governor of Upper Pannonia. Acclaimed emperor on April 13, 193, he quickly eliminated Dide Julien, his compatriot (June 28), and associated Albin with power as Caesar before fighting Pescennius Niger in the East. In 195, he fictitiously entered the Antonine family by being adopted post-mortem. He defeats and executes Niger and leads a brilliant campaign in Arabia. In 197, he got rid of his last adversary, Albin, who proclaimed himself august. Severus prepares the establishment of his dynasty by giving the title of Augusta to Julia, his wife, in 194, of Caesar to Caracalla, in 196, then of Augustus in 198 when Geta, his second son, becomes Caesar. Sévère will spend fifteen years consolidating the borders of the Empire by winning numerous victories over the Parthians (197-198), then in Africa (207) and, finally in Brittany (208-211), where he died..
